If by "pine mountain" you mean the "mountain pine beetle," then yes, the beetle infestation is one of the key reasons to the destruction of the forests in North America. The mountain pine beetle is scientifically classified as the Dendroctonus ponderosae.
One of the many reasons the mountain pine beetle (mpb) remains at large is NOT due to global warming. It is due to the last 100 years of fire suppression and more recent loss of timber harvesting, our forests have become overstocked and stressed. Thus, leaving an environment ripe for the beetle to explode in numbers. The best control for the mountain pine beetle is a healthy forest made up of diverse age classes. In order for climate to control the mpb, you need sustained temperatures of below -30 degrees Fahrenheit for at least 5 consecutive days.
